The following figure shows a graph of $\log_{10}K$ vs $\frac{1}{T}$,where $K$ is the rate constant and $T$ is the temperature. The straight line $BC$ has a slope,$\tan \theta = -\frac{1}{2.303}$,and an intercept of $5$ on the $Y$-axis. Thus,$E_a$,the energy of activation,is ....... $cal$.

  • A
    $2.303 \times 2$
  • B
    $2/2.303$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    None of these
